◀ Luk 12:49Luk 12:51 ▶

But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

Context

47That servant, who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49“I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
51Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
